Help rebuild the Mai family
Donation protected
Hi I am John. I am starting this fundraiser to help my relatives (the Mai family) rebuild their family home and lives which was lost due to a house fire. All donations will be given to the Mai family to rebuild their lives and basic living necessities for the family of five. Thank you for your support.
Mr and Mrs Mai worked very hard when they first arrived in Australia as refugees to buy their house in 2006 which they made their home. They came to Australia with nothing but the clothes on their backs, worked hard to build a life for themselves and their three daughters, Susan, Julie and Jessie.
Unfortunately, the devastating fire caused significant damage to their home, including the loss of most of their family memorabilia. They are now looking for a short-term rental while they rebuild their home which will take at least 12 months and replace lost items such as furniture, TV, cookware, clothing.
The family of five are currently living separately across their relatives homes until they find a permanent solution.
The Mai family are suffering from stress and anxiety as a result of this traumatic event.
The fire started in Jessie’s bedroom, the youngest of the sisters. Jessie lost all her belongings, including her laptop which she uses for her university studies. After the fire, Jessie had to borrow clothing from her cousins to get by.
Julie, the middle child, was the only person in the house when the fire started. During the fire, she was caught in the smoke while saving their family pet dog Coco. Fortunately, Julie and Coco are safe. Julie also suffered losses due to the fire.
Susan, the eldest sister, is in the middle of planning her wedding next year. She has decided to put her wedding off and is using her savings to rebuild their family home.
The Mai family is in need of your help to rebuild their lives and replace the essential items which makes a home. Your donation will go towards helping them find a short-term rental, rebuilding their lives, and replacing the lost belongings.
Your donation will make a significant difference in helping the Mai family. Even sharing this post can have a major impact in assisting their family in getting back on their feet.
Thank you for your support.
Due to personal reasons, the Mai family has asked me not to add photos of them.
